Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 500 g Frozen spinach leaves
  • 2 medium sized Onions
  • 3 Toes Garlic
  • 1 tsp Salt, curry powder, coriander powder
  • 1 tsp Onion seeds, thyme seeds
  • 0,5 tsp Turmeric, cumin powder
  • 200 g Chickpea flour
  • Oil for deep-frying

Instructions

  • Thaw the spinach, do not drain or squeeze it out. All of the liquid is needed.
  • Peel the onions and cut into short strips.
  • Peel the garlic, cut in half, remove the seedlings and cut into small slices.
  • Put all ingredients except the chickpea flour in a large bowl and mix well. Season well. You can let the mass pull through a little now, but that's not a must.
  • Now knead in the chickpea flour.
  • Heat the oil in a deep pan and spoon in the batter. Turn every now and then and flatten it a little with the slotted trowel.
  • Fry the pakoras until the onions are browned, lift them out with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
  • Various chutneys or dips go well with it.
  • Pakoras are ideal as a starter or as an addition to buffets.
